Right on Time
Welcome to the Right on Time podcast, where we chat all things pre-term labour, NICU journey (the highs, the lows and everything in between) and navigating this beautiful yet challenging life as first time mums. We wanted to start this podcast because when we were in the trenches of NICU life, we searched for something similar but were faced with clinical, factual and ultimately heavy stories. When all wished for was hope and to know we weren’t alone. So we’ve decided to create a safe space to laugh, cry, rant and ultimately generate some hope for anyone going through a similar journey to us.
